A medicine for love in absurd society

Kim Woo-jin, a man who has been changing his appearance since he was 18 years old. Appearance, gender, age, and even nationality, every day you wake up is a different life, and every appearance only exists for one day. On the outside he contains the whole world, but on the inside he is extremely lonely.

Because of this secret, he cannot establish a long-term stable relationship with anyone, and the only ones who know the truth are his mother and childhood best friend. Most of the time, he is alone, designing and making handmade furniture, living in this small fantasy world of countless faces.

In order to find the most suitable parts for furniture, Yuzhen often goes to a store to purchase. Here, he met the woman who changed his life - Li Xiu. She is a shopping guide in the store and has introduced suitable furniture to Yuzhen countless times. Yu Zhen fell in love with Li Xiu, but to Li Xiu, she never really met Yu Zhen.

The unexpected arrival of love opened up Yu Zhen's closed inner world, and he showed his true self in front of Li Xiu. His delicacy, kindness, sensibility, and sincerity touched Li Xiu, and the two beating hearts were attracted to each other and depended closely on each other.

As we all know, when you love someone, what's inside is more important. But facing unfamiliar faces every day, can you really maintain this throbbing?

Li Xiu began to feel fear and despair, because in the vast crowd, she could not recognize who she loved. Li Xiu was pushed to the brink of mental breakdown, and her ego began to collapse. The two young lives realized that it is almost impossible for people in modern society to completely abandon the outside world and maintain a love based on their inner feelings.

The progress of human civilization has also led to changes in the concept of human love. At the same time, external factors such as money, power, family, social interaction, etc., have divided modern people's life into countless different areas, and are intensifying. When time and energy are scarce, external factors that are clear at a glance have naturally become the "best option" for emotional judgment in the 21st century. But the contradiction is that love comes from the heart and needs to exclude external factors to feel it.

Yu Zhen's magical ability is undoubtedly a great threat to the modern concept of love, and Li Xiu's fear is the epitome of you and me. When we have long been accustomed to defining love based on external factors such as appearance, age, occupation, gender, etc., we may also lose the ability to penetrate the heart at the same time.

The past history of mankind tells us that civilization will perish, so what about love? If everyone has Yuzhen's ability, can the love that people see as eternal survive? Maybe it's not that true love is hard to find, but that the human capacity to love is dwindling.

In the process of human development, sacrifice is unavoidable, and only hope that love can last forever.
